Presenting, my latest finished piece!
I got this cushion cover from a charity shop in Smith Street, Melbourne a while ago and I’ve been holding on to it for the right moment of inspiration. One day I had a polar bear moment and knew exactly what needed to be done.
I had a great time making this one because it inspired a lot of thought about environmental actions and other environment-inspired crafts. And I developed a pretty cool relationship with the bear. I love her part-sad, part-angry expression. And she’s kind of mid-step so it’s like she’s waiting for us to do something about this appalling behaviour of ours before she gets on with what she was up to.
This one took be about three weeks to complete, including a few late nights and a lot of stitching on the bus.
And I’m stoked with how it came out.
If you really, really like this and just HAVE to have it, you can find it in my Mintd store.

Neat. Though it’s quite wintery & at the moment I’m trying to forget winter. Of course it’s a reminder that all-too-soon winter as we know it will be long forgotten…
New page layout’s lookin ace, by the way.
